I've been eyeballing that, but not sure if I want to jump in. It's more realistic combat, correct? Quick kills, but tactical gameplay?

Yeah wish they just disabled refunding during the Steam winter sale and went back to having daily deals + flash sales. It was nice getting 75+% discounts for a few hours. Since publishers don't want 75+% off on their game for 2 weeks as opposed to 4 hours, we end up with these crappy sale prices.

20XX still only hit 20%.
Hold strong.
Hold strong.
First of all, all of you who were asking about Xanadu Next, (and all of you didn't as well): go buy it right now, what the hell are you waiting for!?
Bought Ray Gigant, played 1 hour, refunded.
I'm usually a sucker for post-apocalyptic special school sentient weapons animu stuff, but that beginning was pretty boring.
Gameplay didn't particulary impress me as well.
It does look damn good though in battles. But I'm 50/50 on the character designs.
It's even cheaper on Bundlestars with the -10% coupon.
Oath in Felghana and/or Origin

Trillion: God of Destruction is $8.99, down from $30.
More people should get this game, as long as they understand that it's not a JRPG; it's a time management/SRPG strategy game with heavy emphasis on VN-esque story and connecting with characters that you are training up to literally send to their death against the game's only boss who has a trillion life.
Maybe I'll do a longer write-up of it, but it was one of my biggest surprises when I played it and is an under-rated, under-bought and most definitely hidden gem.

The game is 5 years old. How is that a test of time?
Please tell me you can now backtrack to those places that were one and done before? Like the part where you run up the tree with water chasing you. Missed one collectible there and I really wanted to 100% the game. That kinda soured me on the game (which is kinda stupid I know) and I never really finished it.
YS VI not as good?
Conception 2 is at it's lowest price point.

The following picture is pretty representative of what you may expect from this game:
It's a pretty unique experience in terms of setting and dialogues. It has great art, too - although the dungeon-crawling aspect has some flaws. In any case, i can recommend it to anyone who didn't get turned off by the picture above

Does anyone have any thoughts about these games? I'm unsure about Dragon's Dogma because I don't know if I will even play it before the next sale. How likely is it that it will have a deeper discount next time? And what about buying Cities: Skylines and Invisible, Inc. without their respective DLCs?
It's the weakest out of all the Ys games on Steam, but still good. Just not as good as the other 2.
It's worth every cent though.
I was actually just looking at the standard edition because thats what I had put on my wish list, forgetting that there was a goty edition. Cheers, I'll buy that instead.

yeah tactical game play is much more of a focus here. you work with your squad to build defense points, place sandbags, gunner positions, etc.
they rolled out the vehicle update but they plan on adding more with helicopters in a few months. if you enjoy ARMA i feel you'd like this game because its a much more focused and condensed version of it. watch some videos on Youtube (artillery barrage, sniper game play)
I don't mind the discount, I just wanted to pick something up that might be considered for my GOTY list since I've played (with the exception of a couple of really short ones I will knock out before next week) all of the other games I think I'm going to consider.
I believe there is still 1 secret in Misty Woods that becomes unavailable once you play through it (I could be wrong here, as I always make sure to get it on the first pass).
But for everywhere else, including the tree, You can revisit every area to chase up all hidden areas! You even get a new ability to speed things up too!

Yeesh. Trying to avoid buying too many games and cut down on the backlog but this is a really good deal by the looks of it. So tempting...
Tried to resist but
If you can refund, and if you haven't played them yet, BundleStars has Baldur's Gate 1, II, and Siege of Dragonspear for sale.

So a game I want is 75% off, but it's not a 'featured sale' on the main store page. Does this mean it may go lower? Or will it stay at 75% the entire sale?
Buying christmas presents for the family cleaned me out already. Most I can really justify right now is like $10, and that's pushing it x.x

Wanted to spent $20, spent $21.30 after some trading card money got put in.
It's a relief to be done on the store and just be downloading games. Unfortunatly most of the games on my wishlist didn't go down as much as I would like, but I wound up grabbing Hard West, Portal 2, and Age of Decadence plus some under a buck games. Now I just wait for them to download...

I think he/she means the second one.
All of that sounds pretty awesome. Might have to look into this.
It will stay at that price.

I guess there's a few games off my wishlist.
Well, I just bought it so look for the Spring sale, you know, when I'll actually get around to playing it, for it to hit $10.
EDIT: That also gets to me to 200 games.
I was going to hold off until actually beating Ys, but ok sold. I'm a sucker for games with hype OSTs.

Highly unlikely to go any lower. Most prices now stay fixed for the duration of the sale.

Witness at $20 is a goddamn steal.
BUY IT DAMN YOU
BUY IT DAMN YOU
I'd say Invisible, Inc. is your #1 priority on that list, followed by Cities.

Both are amazing.
Curious about this as well.

Oh you hero! I was just complaining about how expensive they all were and that I still wanted them. Will refund and get it that way. Cheers

I would only buy it if you really, really like the puzzles and are happy to do nothing else. It is a game that offers nothing else and will only be enjoyed by a select group of people.
More importantly, is there a chance Skyrim can go cheaper?

Thumper in VR is really, really good.

listen to the mad man
Featured Sales are just sales they're promoting on the front page, they're not higher discounts or anything. Unless they're doing special discounts on Steam Awards winners, there's no reason to believe that anything will get a steeper discount later. 75% off is normally around where most stuff tops out anyway.
yeah
the witness is not one of those games you wait for a sale
most of the games i pay $40 for i feel kind of whatever
the witness is just the real deal
yeah i may buy it just to try it out at work
